We took Jim's brother to the airport after his visit with us last weekend.
Things looked a little slow for the baggage handlers at curbside check-in!

Speaking of baggage...
Ever wonder what happens to all that unclaimed baggage?
Well, it ends up in a couple of different places:
- The Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama buys items from airlines that have never been claimed. Then they sell them in their store to the public.
One unique service they offer, is "e-mail notification" when certain types of items arrive in their store!

- The Property Room auctions off goods that have been seized by police departments and stolen items that police have been unable to return.
One unique service they offer is a "database search" to see if your lost or stolen goods have turned up there. (If your items are there, they are returned to your police department, and then to you.)
